Alex on Palin
AA's reaction:
Just got to check out your comments re: Palin on thestencil. Everything you mention &/or cite pretty much sums up every one of my reactions to the news this AM.
Funny thing is how I heard though. I went into the bathroom this morning, having just woken up, turned on the radio to hear my man, Larry Mantle (LA NPR), and I catch the very tail end of a woman giving a speech somewhere. It sounded like an excerpt of some C-lister introducing a slightly more important speaker from the DNC this past week. Then Larry starts talking to a newspaper editor from Juneau about her and how she'd become governor, etc. Seemed unremarkable. Then another woman was interviewed and she just sounded excited about a girl-next-door success story becoming governor. Again, nothing to write home about. I still didn't really know why they were talking about her other than her surprising rise to office and this whatevs ethics investigation. Yawn. Then Larry Mantle wraps things up, reiterating that this woman was indeed McCain's pick for VP. WTF!! I almost fell off the toilet. Hail Mary indeed.
